Calls were made today for developers to scale down plans for an imposing mosque in Preston.

It has emerged that the Meenawala Charitable Foundation wants planning permission for this domed building on a one-acre site on the corner of Sharoe Green Lane and Kingsfold Avenue in Fulwood, with space for 600 prayer mats.
Towering up to 44 metres high, it would be less than half a mile away from a planned new mosque in Watling Street Road.
